  • Performance
    • Unlocked Processor: true
    • Hard Drive Accelerator: Intel Optane (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
  • Memory
    • Cache Level: L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)

Q: Can ship to mexico??

A: undefined

Q: Does the i5-8600K include a fan/heatsink ?

A: No. You have to purchase an aftermarket one.

Q: What is the difference between this and the Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W

A: The I-7 has Hyper threading and the I-5 does not. I went from a I-7 7700K to the I-5 8600k and it is performing as good or better than the 7700k. And it cost $100 less so it was a win win.
